Exactly my point apballin. When you make emotional decisions they rarely work out. I am not saying we should keep Wentz. I just think it needs to be a purely football decision, not some pissed off owner trying to do something, anything that just makes him feel better and cover his embarrassment. Im not even sure why this would embarrass him after all the shit be as pulled himself.

Pure football decision honestly look at his performance from beginning to end and the dude got worse as the season went along and he had the best RB in the league by far

He makes everyone’s job harder, Oline has to block longer he gets his receivers killed with inaccurate passes and he fumbles every time he gets sacked

We were a joke offensively our best play for a month was under thrown pass getting PI

I agree. He needs to be gone. He isn’t the worst QB I’ve ever seen. I want to make sure we are better off after we make the QB moves we need to make. You could end up with a worse QB if you just say fuck it and cut the guy without a plan. I don’t trust Irsay to have a plan. This all just sucks big time.

See I think Jonathan Taylor is as good as advertised and if Reich stays out of his way while mixing in passes and play action we can still be successful we just need the QB to get it out quick and don’t fuckin turn it over

We may see something even more historic from Taylor next year

Taylor had 372 touches this season. That’s more than enough. Slightly too much to me. If you want to maximize Taylor get him a passing game that lessens the load on him. Don’t run his ass into the ground.

If we get a QB that can make loaded boxes pay, then Taylor will get some breathing room. That’s a QB with accuracy as a trait.

The consensus on Wentz, after the trade, was that he had gotten mucked up in Philadelphia, and all he needed to excel was a return to the arms of a Quarterback whisperer like Frank Reich.

Well, he might have come to the Colts; but, for all practical purposes, Reich never got the opportunity to take apart his game, his mechanics, fix them, and put the pieces back together.

First, Covid wiped out offseason workouts, then the foot ended Wentz’s preseason.

Give Reich another shot at it. If it works out, great. But, if his critics are right and Wentz is unsalvageable, you have a first round draft choice in a better class of QB’s or you can pick up a free agent from a deeper pool.

See drafting a QB is not the answer to me this team is full of guys heading into their prime it’s built to win right now we don’t have time to let a rookie come in and develop
